Which Should You Buy?
Passion is properly divisive: a beastly, gothic powder-bomb, beloved by those who want to smell dark and mysterious, but completely overwhelming for others. Definitely a 'try before you buy' to see if you're a vamp or a victim.
Divisive yet utterly captivating, Zoologist's Civet is a bold amber animalic that sparks love-it-or-hate-it reactions. It's a throwback to classic perfumery, rich and unapologetic.
